Sleep: I finally broke down this week and bought a body pillow. 

Best moment this week: This past weekend we celebrated Fathers Day! It was fun to get to celebrate Eric's first Fathers Day. =) On Saturday we went to dinner with my parents. On Sunday we went to the movies and to eat with Eric's family. That night we went back to my parents so Eic and my dad could go fishing in the lake behind my parents backyard. 

Cravings: After my birthday all I can think about is that delicious cheesecake!

Movement: I am starting to feel some bigger movements.  I still love it every time she moves. 

Wedding rings: Still on, although I have found myself not wearing them all day on the weekend since we are out and about a lot.

Mood: So happy that summer is here! I am looking forward to being able to take things slower and relax more. 

Looking forward to: Next weekend we are going to celebrate Father's Day!

Anything Else?? I passed my glucose test! I didn't think I would fail, but it is good to know for sure and have one less thing to worry about.

Sleep: This week was the first week of no kids at school. Therefore, it was a little more relaxed. I slept so good this week! I think if I could sleep until 7am everyday I would be so much happier. =)

Best moment this week: We celebrated my 29th birthday! It was such a nice day and I was spoiled at school. That night we went to The Cheesecake Factory with my parents and grandparents. It was delicious! Heather and the kids also came out to visit on Saturday. We had a great day! The kids enjoyed fishing at my parents house. Heather, Tegan and I went to get pedicures while my parents and Eric stayed with the boys. It was such a nice treat!

26 Weeks

June 6, 2013

Baby news: Our baby girl is 14 inches and 2 pounds!

How far along? 26 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 9.5 pounds

Sleep: Sleeping is becoming a little frustrating. I am so tired, but constantly waking up to roll over. I have been having pretty bad back/sciatica pain...I'm hoping my live in physical therapist can help me out. =)

Best moment this week: We made some good progress on the nursery. It looks so cute! We went on Sunday and got a dresser and my parents bought us a crib mattress. Eric finished painting and my dad helped him put together the crib and dresser. I also got an early birthday present from my parents. They gave us my old cradle for us to use for Madison. It is amazing how good it looks 29 years later. It matches our crib perfectly and was a great addition to the nursery. They also gave me the bedding for the crib. It worked out perfectly to put the nursery together.

Cravings: I've been back in a food funk this week. Nothing sounds good. =(

Movement: Wednesday was a party in my belly! I had my glucose test that morning and Madison really liked the lemon lime sugar drink. She went crazy all day, it was so much fun getting to feel her move that much!

Wedding rings: Still on, although I have found myself not wearing them all day on the weekend since we are out and about a lot.

Mood: I can't complain... I feel great besides a little back pain. I feel like I'm slowing down as it heats up outside, but I still get things taken care of.

Looking forward to: I'm ready to start summer vacation! Looking forward to 5 weeks of relaxation and a slower pace.

Anything Else?? I went to my new doctor this week, the 4th doctor of the pregnancy. =) He is with a UTMB group that is near our house. He is very nice with a calm manner. Eric came to the appointment, but had to leave before we saw the dr. I had to do my glucose test, so it took some time to meet with the nurse and start drinking the drink. I'm hoping that everything comes back good with my 1 hour glucose test. I had to drink a sugary lemon lime drink, wait an hour and have my blood drawn. Everything else with the appointment went well. My belly is measuring right on track, little girls heartbeat was 157 and she kept kicking the doppler monitor.

25 Weeks

May 31, 2013

Baby news: Our baby girl is 13.5 inches and 1.75 pounds...She is growing like a weed!

How far along? 25 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 8 pounds

Sleep: Sleeping is becoming a little frustrating. I am so tired, but constantly waking up to roll over. I have been having pretty bad back/sciatica pain...I'm hoping my live in physical therapist can help me out. =)

Best moment this week: We (Eric) started on the nursery. We went to the Konesheck's lake house for Memorial Day weekend. Eric got excited to paint, so we came home early on Monday and he started painting. The color is called minty- kind of a mint green. 

Cravings: There were nacho cheese Doritos at the lake house, but they were all gone before I got to them. I got a bag at the store this week. :)

Movement: I end up staying up too late every night because I love getting to feel Madison move. Whenever I lay down flat, she goes crazy. I also love when I wake up in the morning. She is usually curled up in a ball or wrapped around the top of my belly button. 

Have you started to show yet?  Yes and I love it! I'm in that good stage right now where I look pregnant but not huge yet. 

Wedding rings: Still on, but I have noticed some swelling here and there when I don't drink enough water. 

Mood: I have been feeling good overall. I usually have 1 day a week that I don't feel great. It's usually just because I am tired, too busy or achy. 

Looking forward to: Putting together the crib when the nursery is painted. 

Anything Else??? I was finally able to make an appointment with my new doctor at UTMB. I will go visit them in a couple weeks. I also went to register at St. John's  and got information and their birthing and baby care classes. Things sure are beginning to get real!

Here is a picture from the lake house when we were waiting out the rain. The next is the beginning of the nursery painting. 

Here's a few of my favorite four, just because they are so cute!
